Where: Rogliano (CS), Calabria
Alpa operates in Rogliano, in the province of Cosenza, in the Calabrian hinterland, and transforms fruit and chestnuts into simple and recognizable pantry staples. The heart of the production is its sweet organic preserves, made only with fresh organic Italian fruit and organic cane sugar, without preservatives or colorings.
For many of their compotes, Alpa uses both the pulp and the peel of the fruit, and it shows: the compote made with bergamot, a citrus fruit typical of the Calabrian coast, has a strong aroma and a bold, pleasantly bitter taste. Alongside classic flavors, like apricot, there are more unusual combinations, like orange and ginger or apple and chili pepper.
Alpa's other great passion is chestnuts, which are used to make flour, dried chestnuts, roasted chestnuts, and pasta: tagliatelle, gnocchi, and macaroni made with chestnut flour, with a sweet aftertaste. The range is completed with tomato purees and sauces.
